Alcove9 has announced its latest application connector for intranet search, the a9 AppConnect for AutoCAD. During its recent exhibition at Autodesk University (AU) in Las Vegas, the company introduced its latest product, which is now available for demonstration and/or subscription. Alcove9 is based on an open source platform.

The a9 AppConnect for AutoCAD allows users to search all of their structured and unstructured databases right from their CAD session, according to the company. This enhances the user experience while improving product development efforts. Features include full-text search, identification of reference file relationships (X-Ref) without having to open up drawings (both in children and where used), and click and search capability.
